Improve the Date Parsing in the date picker to be more flexible (a la Telerik Date Picker)
We have been migrating from using the RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax to the Kendo UI suite, and have found the controls very useful.
However there appears to be a slight discrepancy between the parsing capabilities of the two libraries.

eg.
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/datepicker/index.html
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/calendar/examples/datepicker/custompopup/defaultcs.aspx

If you type 1-1 in the RadControl demo, this is correctly parsed as 1-Jan-2012
If you type this in the KendoUI demo, this is not parsed correctly

It would be great to have the same flexibility of parsing of the dates as per the RadControls?

Im currently using your ASP.NET AJAX suite and here I am able to type eg: 010101 which turns out to be "1/1/2001"
At the same time im testing your MVC suite, and here im unable to do the same thing.

Is there a reason for this or am i doing something wrong?
I liked the auto-parsing functionality like 111115 -> 11/11/2015

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for the suggestion, but we prefer to stick to ISO-compatible date formats when parsing as this is consistent with the EcmaScript spec and other popular front-end libraries.
